Embrace the magic of a winter wonderland with the “Snowy Playdate” Bunny. This delightful amigurumi project captures the pure joy of playing in the snow. The centerpiece is a snowy white bunny with long, floppy ears, dressed in a stunningly vibrant outfit designed to pop against a white winter background. She wears a thick, “cable-knit” style dress in bright red, ensuring she stays warm and stylish. A long, classic blue and white striped scarf is wrapped snugly around her neck to keep out the chill.

Her winter gear includes cozy low-top woolen booties with a faux-fur trim and a playful earflap hat topped with a fluffy pom-pom. To complete the scene, she comes with her very own wooden-style sled and a tiny snowman friend wearing a green beret. This pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters looking to practice texture stitches and miniature accessory construction.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Gauge & Finished Size

The finished bunny stands approximately 28 cm (11 inches) tall. The gauge for the bunny should be tight (approx. 24 sc x 26 rows = 10cm) to ensure stuffing does not show. The dress uses textured stitches which naturally pull the fabric in, so check the fit on your doll as you go.
